    I like the suede steering wheel also. Rick has momos in his Corvettes - Way better than the boat sterring wheel that comes stock.

    Brent I'm also going to buy the Compomotives, do the Ferrari center caps also come with the wheels, if not where did you get them.While your at it, who did you get the wheels from?

    Buy the wheels (see my profile). Center caps included with stickers, but I got two extra, just in case someday.

    Beautiful car, but I notice it says "GTS328" on the back! One of those little quirks that proves it is (at least in part) a handmade car.

    Mine is like that, too; it says "328GTS" in the right order, but the "GTS" is offset to the right instead of being right under the "328". I've seen only one other car like it.

    Viva la differenza!

    The car currently has a suede wheel that I put in. It is a little smaller than the stock wheel and I used a 1/2" spacer. I'm 6'2" and doing this allows me to get my legs under the wheel easier. I used to race in the Toyota Atlantic Championship in the late 80's and early 90's. I always put a new suede wheel in each season and loved the feel and look. I think it is a good fit for a Ferrari.

    Very nicely done, Brent! Gorgeous car 9but then I AM a bit partial). That's what I want my car to look like when it grows up (i.e., upgrade the suspension and drop the ride height)!!

    Man, Jordan! I dunno if this is in good taste or not!

    It's like a guy posting a picture of his new wife, and you posting a picture of yourself having a go with her! Bad form! ;)


    PS- That is the most exceptional 328 I think I've seen.

    Hey, Jordan gets around. I've seen him in several other cars. Lucky guy! I'm not offended.

    I would be so happy if Compomotive company could produce modular wheels with an identical OEM shape, in different misures.
    I've done a little Photoshop work.
    Tell me if you agree.

    Thank you AHMTHSSN!

    To Kevin:
    could you be so kind to give me the website address of Norwood.
    Do you think that someone can produce this wheels on demand?
    It would be so cool!

    Brent,
    Congrats on the car - it looks great with the new wheels and setup. Jerry did an extremely meticulous job in upkeep of that car, and those seats! love em.

    Hopefully, we'll still be able to see the car on the So Cal roads - you'll have to join us on one of our local drive events!

    Norwood is one of F-chat's sponsors - just go up to the upper left and click on the "Click here to view all sponsors" and then scroll down. The link for the wheels is http://www.norwoodperformance.com/brakes_suspension.htm - scroll all the way down to the bottom and click on the picture for the pic I posted.

    Cheers

    17x8 front 17x9 rear. Not sure of the offset, just said they were for my 1982 308 at the time.
